This is important because it promoted discussions about removing Charles' authority over the army. This was an issue that prompted the
start of the Civil War e.g., the Militia Bill proposed that Parliament should control the army led to moderates joining Charles.

November 1641- The Grand Remonstrance, Parliament to control the king’s ministers, Bishops and Catholic peers to be excluded from the
House of Lords, Root and Branch to reform the Church. Included much of what had been in the 10 propositions, passed by only 11 votes=
shows extent of division within Parliament.

Early January 1642- rumours that Pym was planning to impeach the Queen as she was catholic. (After all a king needs to protect his Queen).

3RD JAN Charles ordered Lords to begin impeachment proceedings against the opposition leader’s 4th – The attempted arrest of MPs Charles
arrived at House of Commons with a warrant for the arrest of 5 MPs, including Pym and Hampden with 300 soldiers. The 5 had been warned
and left ‘I see the birds have flown’ = demonstrated complete breakdown in relationship between King and Parliament. Charles was going
against Parliamentary privileges of freedom of arrest and that the monarch should not enter the commons.

10th January 1642- King and family left London for their safety and went to Hampden Court, then went on to York. The king had lost control of
London (centre of power, and finance, he doesn’t have any power over Parliament in a weak position).

June 1642- Nineteen propositions, Parliament hoped this would be a basis for a settlement, but it was far too radical
for the King to ever accept, each side began stating their own case in order to win support then they started to raise
armies and forces.

In August 1642 START OF THE FIRST Civil War King raised his standard at Nottingham to declare war, both sides
claimed they had to take up arms in order to preserve the state.
